TOTALLY CHUNG OVER OVERSIZED ALEXA


I want it, I need it, I just have to have it.

That is what I have been telling myself every day, every hour and every second that I just NEED the oversized Alexa bag. It's like a drug I need to inject myself with. Words cannot describe the pain that goes through me every time I visit a Mulberry store to touch this bag and having to put it back on display.

Earlier today I was discussing with my friend Joey how much I really really REALLY need this bag in my life and all he could answer back was "it's just a bag". Yes it is a bag, but it is not ONLY a bag... it is a necessity, a lifestyle and a product that would be just as precious to me as the bible would be to the pope! I don't care what colour, print or leather I get the Alexa in, I just need to have it.

Just as we thought the 'it' bag phenomenon had died, Mulberry's Creative Director Emma Hill executed the Alexa. It has got to a point in my life where I have actually put a picture of the bag on my wall so I can look at it every day and dream that one day I will own this bag. Why do I have to be a student? Why can't I just own a share in Mulberry? Why can't I have a rich partner? Or even better, why can't someone just buy me one or let me borrow one for a day?

Alexa, there will come a time in my life when I will be able to own you! I don't know when, I don't know how, but there will come a time that you will be on my arm at some point in my life, I promise.

  4. This bag is a total beaut and has to be by far THE bag of 2010! Cannot wait to buy one. I was thinking of black but now i've decided to get the leopard print coffee colour, in the oversized Alexa!

  6. The black is amazing in oversized! The black with snakeskin trim is out now but the plain black in Buffalo skin is out in April! That is more classic... I want that one!

  7. Tip: Try the factory store in Sommerset, 01749 340 583. I ordered a bronze Bayswater from there reduced to £392 from £750. Its worth checking in now and again to see what the have and at what price!!
